1998 Porsche Carrera

Component

Air Bags:On-Off Switch Assembly

Consequence of Defect

equipment description: child seating system air bag deactivation kit for use on 1997-1998 911 carrera s, carrera 4, carrera 4s, and turbo (1997 model only), part no. 993 803 283 00, and 1997-1998 boxster model vehicles, part nos. 996 803 283 00 and 996 803 083 00. due to a manufacturing problem, the contact buckle (which is part of the kit) does not deactivate the air bag(s).

Corrective Action

in the event of a crash, this results in the deployment of the air bag(s) which could result in severe injury or death to the child seat occupant.

Recall Notes

dealers will install a modified air bag deactivation kit.

1992 Porsche Carrera

Component

Electrical System:Fuses And Circuit Breakers

Consequence of Defect

after the engine has been turned off, the rear heater will automatically operate in order to dissipate heat in the engine heating system. during this operation, the resistor for the rear heater blower can become overloaded due to a binding or seized rear heater blower.

Corrective Action

the overloaded resistor can create heat sufficient toignite the plastic air pipe to which it is connected, resulting in an enginecompartment fire.

Recall Notes

porsche dealers will install a new resistor containing a circuit breaker.

1992 Porsche Carrera

Component

Steering:Wheel And Handle Bar

Consequence of Defect

a part of the steering column upper universal joint cracked during the manufacturing process.

Corrective Action

this condition could result in noise and free play in the steering system and if left uncorrected, will result in loss of steering control.

Recall Notes

dealers will inspect the universal joint for cracks and will replace cracked joints with new parts.
